Now that we have the Club Key, we can go further into the mansion. The Club Door is in the very back of the mansion, near the bathroom. It leads to the Courtyard.
Courtyard
There are several plants, a fountain, some statues, and a well. Watering the plants will give you an emerald and money. As we approach the center of the Courtyard, we hear Mario's voice saying, "Help me!" from far away. Vacuum the statues for some money and check the birdhouse for Mario's Letter. There are ghosts that dangle from branches and pink blob ghosts that appear from the ground. To the right is a tool shed with a crying Toad. The door will hit you as it opens, so open it from the side. The Toad says there's something terrible in the well. The well is in the center of the Courtyard and has a ladder leading to the bottom.
Bottom of the Well
There isn't much water at the bottom of the well, but there is a short path. It leads to a lit area. Luigi looks through the mouth of a lion statue into a well-lit room. Mario is in a painting on the wall, saying, "Get me outta here!" Luigi is frightened and looks away. If Luigi goes back, he can see King Boo looking at the painting. Back near the ladder is one dangling ghost. Vacuum it up to turn the light on and make a key appear.
Courtyard
We talk to Toad again. He wonders how the Boos could do that to Mario and he lost it. He ran around the mansion looking for a hiding place and noticed Mario left some things lying around the mansion. He didn't pick up anything, nor remembers where he saw them, but knows there were five items in total: Mario's Hat, Glove, Shoe, Letter, and Star. We tell Toad we'll find them and he'll save our game. We clear out the ghosts to make the lights come on and get a chest with money. The key from the Well leads to the door on the right that leads back into the mansion.
Rec Room
This room is full of exercise equipment, where a ghost named Biff Atlas is working out. He says he's buff and wonders if Luigi would like to be his punching bag. There are three punching bags surrounding him, so we hit him three times with the punching bags, dodging the backswing. After the second hit, he'll start moving around, flailing his arms. After the third hit, we can vacuum him up. This can be a little difficult with the many obstacles in the room. Once we defeat him, a chest with money will appear. The Boo in the room is Booregard, with 100 HP. We can leave through thte door in the front of the room. The door to the left is locked and leads to Area 2. To the right is a set of stairs leading to the second floor. One of the doors is on fire. Extinguish it so you can enter the Tea Room.
Tea Room
The Tea Room has two long tables. There are some grabbing ghosts in the room. Behind the left table is a piece of cheese hiding a Gold Mouse, which has a ruby. There are special panels on the floor and ceiling which allow Luigi to walk on the ceiling. Once the ghosts are gone, a large white chest will appear on the table, so flip onto the ceiling and flip down onto the table. The chest contains the Ice Element Medal. Gadd tells us we can find Ice Elemental Ghosts in cold places, like the refrigerator. The medal also allows us to shoot balls of ice. We can use ice on water ghosts to make their hearts appear. We also find Mr. Boojangles, with 50 HP. We leave the room and go through another door to a hallway. The vases have money. There are electric ghosts that appear from the walls that explode, so avoid them. All the doors on the left side of the hallway are open, so we go into the Washroom.
Washroom (Second Floor)
The toilet in this room has a leaky tank, so we can get the water element. We'll need to use it on the ghost in the toilet. The lights come on and a chest with money appears.
Bathroom (Second Floor)
In this bathroom, there's a ghost named Miss Petunia taking a bath in the tub. She says she enjoys the hot shower. We add ice to the tub and she sneezes. We can now vacuum her up. Try to keep her away from the tub as pearls can get stuck behind it. The chest has a key to a door on the first floor. Before we go there, we'll check out the room across the hall.
Nana's Room
There's a knitting grandmother ghost named Nana in the rocking chair. She wonders if she should play with Luigi. The chest of drawers on the right and the chandelier have money. Tap the table near Nana to make her balls of yarn fall on the floor. We have to pick up each ball of yarn and hit her with it. She starts moving around the room once the balls of yarn are on the floor. We can vacuum her up after hitting her with the three balls of yarn. The chest has a key to a door on the second floor. The Boo LimBooger appears after we defeat Nana. He has 100 HP. We have two keys to use, so we'll go to the room on the second floor.
Astral Hall
In the center of the room is a star-shaped platform surrounded by candles. We must light the candles to go to the next room. Once the candles are lit, their flames turn purple, ghosts appear, and the door to the hallway is covered in thorns. The ghosts have spears and masks, just as in the ballroom. Grabbing ghosts appear after you get the masked ghosts. Once the lights are on, get money from the chandelier and cabinet, as well as the Boo Boonswoggle, with 100 HP. The Boos have much more health now. Go through the door on the right to the Observatory.
Observatory
There is a telescope in the room. Luigi looks through it into space and sees the moon. The walls of the room seem to disappear and falling stars appear "outside". Pick one up with the vacuum and shoot at the moon from the edge of the room. It lights up and explodes, creating a celestial path to Mario's Star. We go downstairs to the locked door on the first floor.
Billiards Room
In the Billiards Room, there's a ghost named Slim Bankshot shooting billiard balls all over the room. He asks if Luigi wants some of this. Vacuum up a billiard ball and hit him so you can vacuum him. Once defeated, open the chest, which contains money and a diamond. Chase down Boo Hoo with 50 HP and go into the room on the right.
Projection Room
There's a large screen on the wall and a projector on a table near the front wall. The cabinet has money. We have to turn on the projector to make the ghosts appear. That didn't quite work the first time I went in the room, so I tried vacuuming the screen. It wouldn't let go, so I let it go, revealing an image of Boo saying, "Get out of here!" I left and returned, and the projector started working. There are around six grabbing ghosts in the room. Once we defeat them, a red chest with Mario's Glove appears. ShamBoo's in the room with 50 HP. We head upstairs.
The Twins' Room
The room has a set of bunk beds and lots of toys. We spin the mobile on the ceiling with the vacuum and the twins Orville and Henry appear. They want to play hide and seek, so we leave the room while they hide. They'll say when they're ready. There will be several boxes in the room. We have to find which ones they're hiding in. If we mess up once, we have to leave while they hide again. Once you find both of them, they'll say you cheated and grab their toys. One will fly on an airplane and the other will ride a car and they'll both attack you. Vacuum up their toys, then vacuum them up. They each have 100 HP. Once you get rid of them, a red chest with Mario's Shoe will appear. Booris is also in the room with 100 HP. Now that we have all of Mario's items, we go to a room in the first floor.
Fortune Teller's Room
We shine the flashlight on the crystal ball to make the resident fortune teller, Madame Clairvoya appear. Talking to her reveals that she can give us insight on what is happening using Mario's items. With the Glove, she can tell us that Mario is still alive, but is neither completely with the living nor in the spirit world. The Shoe tells her that Mario is imprisoned in a painting at an altar. The Letter tells her that Luigi should look out for Boos and beware of King Boo. King Boo wears a crown and caught Mario. The Star tells her that the Boos have strength in numbers, but fear the Poltergust 3000. Nothing we didn't already know. The Hat shows her an image of Bowser. She thinks King Boo may have revived him. That's interesting information. She can now return to her painting satisfied. Now is the time to vacuum her, but treat this as a regular portrait ghost battle as she can escape. The chest has a key to a door on the third floor. To get to the third floor, go up the stairs near the Rec Room, go past the Tea Room and towards the front of the mansion where the hallway splits. When the hallway splits again, go to the right to reach the stairs. There are two doors, but only the front one is real.
Safari Room
Get the ice element before entering. This room has animal pelts, trophies and crates. There's a piece of cheese by the crates. There are water ghosts that need the ice element to show their hearts. Other ghosts include the banana ghosts. The chest key has a key on this floor to the outside. Catch Little Boo Peep with 100 HP, then leave the room through the left door and go to the very end of the hallway.
Balcony
The Balcony is very large. There are several plants near the railing and some Boos spinning in a circle in the center. They say that we've made it this far. It's their turn now to assume their true form. They disappear and circle Luigi and form a giant Boo, Boolossus. Boolossus bounces around. We can hold Boolossus in the vortex of the vacuum, then lead it over to one of the two statues of unicorns. The horns will pop Boolossus into the fifteen Boos that made it. Grab the ice element and ice the Boos overhead. They will avoid you when you use the ice, but you can get some of them. Once they drop to the ground, immediately vacuum them up or they'll thaw and fly around again. The Boos will reform Boolossus, who'll get smaller as you vacuum up more Boos. At the end of the ordeal, I had 35 HP left, as the Boos dive to attack you when you're not using ice. A large gold chest appears with the blue Diamond Key. Gadd calls us to the lab.
We make our portraits and count our money:
Madame Clairvoya- Gold
Biff Atlas- Silver
Nana- Gold
Miss Petunia- Gold
Slim Bankshot- Silver
Hnery and Orville- Silver
Boolossus- Bronze
Total 16 Ghosts
43,945,000G collected
35/50 Boos caught
End Area 3
Not bad. I got a bronze frame on Boolossus, but that's understandable when you're being attacked by fifteen Boos at once. There's only one area left.
